My California 10-day waiting period was over at 2:00PM today. So at 2:45 I picked up my new Taurus 85. By 3:15 I was at the range. I put five rounds into a practice target and then shot the next thirty into my qualifying target (CA requires you to qualify for each weapon on your permit.) 30/30 and then off to the Sheriff's Office. By 4:15 the snubby is now on my permit and I'm loving it.
In SA, it is a dream to shoot. In DA, it is crisp and very manageable.
I will say that muzzle flash is pronounced (shooting Remington UMC .38 spcl). My carry ammo will be Hornady Critical Defense which is supposed to have less flash (like a dummy, I left it at home).
So, 1.5 hours after signing for it I'm legally carrying the snub-nose. :danceban:
I did a Home Depot walk with it in the front pocket (no holster, it should be here tommorow from Cheaper Than Dirt).
